Is there a complete package that is free?
Do I need to uninstall Norton first, before installing a free program?
Is it worth it just to buy a protection service?
Does AVG provide ALL the necessary protection, or do I need to install a firewall and spyware, ontop of that.?liveupdate
AVG Free is just antivirus ... Use Zone Labs Zone Alarm as your firewall ... Adaware and Spybot as Anti-spyware ... all FREE ... that should keep you as protected as you can be

AVG has all the protection in one package but it is not free.
I had Norton and I had a lot of problems. I uninstalled Norton first before installing the AVG online. After a few weeks or a trial , then you have a choice between buying or the free.
The free is for where there is only one computer in the home or a single user. And the bought is for home/business. I have both the AVG free antivirus and spy potection..No one in my home uses the computer but me.
AVG is a good antivirus butwhen it comes to spywares and adwares it lags a little. To strengthen it i use a combination of AVG, Spybot-Search%26Destroy and Winpatrol. These tree freewares in combination provide me with the ultimate system protection my system should be having. I have not received any threats for the past four years of usage now. Give it a try and yes you have to uninstall Norton. These three softwares do a better job than the paid version of Norton.
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/... On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
AVG Free is a AntiVirus Program. It stops Viruses, Malware %26 Trojans from entering your computer. You should remove Norton first, By Uninstalling it in the Add/Remove Programs menu in the Control Panel. Then Download the "Norton Removal Tool" from The Symantec Website - Google Search it. Windows comes installed with a Firewall that works very well. For Spyware, I recommend you download and install "Spybot - Search %26 Destroy 1.5".
